Published by the Macroeconomic Policy and Development Division (MPDD) of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific, the Asia-Pacific Development Journal provides a platform for exchange of ideas and experiences on development issues and concerns facing the people of the region.

The Asian development experience has stood out as an extraordinary example of what can be achieved when policy makers, experts, scholars and people at large harness their creativity, knowledge and foresight. The Asia-Pacific Development Journal has been a proud partner in this process, providing a scholarly means for bringing together research work by emminent social scientists and development practitioners from the region and beyond for use by a variety of stakeholders. Over the years, the Journal has emerged as a key United Nations publication in telling the Asian development story in a concise, coherent and impartial manner to stimulate policy debate and assist policy formulation in the region.

Published twice a year, the Journal welcomes policy-oriented articles and orginal pieces of work, focusing on development issues and challenges relevant to the Asian and the Pacific region. The Journal also welcomes analytical book reviews for publication.
